I know this has been discussed many times in the past, but I thought I'd
bring it up again.
Does anyone know of any research involving recommendations for staffing
levels for z shops ??? And what it is based on; MIPS, Employee count,
etc ???
-----------------------------<unsnip>-----------------------------
In my last shop, that number was based on the number and complexity of
add-on products. CICS was a full man, MVS was a full man, DB II and IDMS
were 1/2 man each, and so on. We had a fairly small number of OEM
software products, so we had only two people to handle all that, and
storage management was considered 1/8 man (one man for an hour a day.)
Naturally the actual time spent varied, but the numbers seemed to work
out reasonably well.
